This file holds talking points for the dialogue at ZHDK assessing a potential fit for the Master degree program interdisciplinary studies in the arts. Please consider it a rough sketch, as it was planned for a later date.
Current Inspirations
Contemporary Art
- Hito Steyerl’s work (such as SocialSim Exhibition), in relation to my experience working in research in social sciences.
- Xu Bing’s Dragonfly Eyes, here the Trailer, and here a full stream.
- Cickindunt (Vitalii Cherepanov & Anna Cherepanova)'s CCTV movies, and their use and manipulation of public space.
Tools, Hard- and Software, Interactivity Experiments
- Linus Zimmermann’s explorations of analogue and digital synthesizers in expertly crafted enclosures.
- Olivia Jack’s open source hydra, a live coding video synth - the technical feat of making something as complex as shaders and making it accessible to people with minimal equipment, and a willingness to experiment or experience with synthesizers.
- QuiltScapes @ In:dépendance 2023 of ETH Zürich.
Internet Art, Curated Content, and Archival Work
- The webring, a place to interconnect portfolios and web archives and share internet traffic.
- Axelle Stiefel’s Artist Network Theory, and the vorstellen.network.
